Essential Albums
- The Dismemberment Plan’s third album saw indie rock’s slack nonchalance give way to panic-attack anxiety. The band’s post-hardcore guitar clang gets tangled up in buzzing synths, disco-punk twitches, and Travis Morrison’s rapid-fire absurdist rants. Even openly anthemic statements like “What Do You Want Me to Say?” are shocked with needling noise. But, far removed from its point of origin, Emergency & I remains a timeless manifestation of the urban young-adult experience, an album that makes you feel both vulnerable and invincible.

About The Dismemberment Plan
Formed in Washington D.C. in 1993, the Dismemberment Plan played emo-tinged indie rock with an R&B and dance influence. Led by singer and guitarist Travis Morrison, the Dismemberment Plan released an EP (‘94’s CAN WE BE MATURE?), their debut full-length (‘95’s !), and their sophomore effort (‘97’s THE DISMEMBERMENT PLAN IS TERRIFIED), all on DeSoto Records. After a brief tenure with Interscope (THE ICE OF BOSTON EP), the Plan returned to DeSoto for 1999’s EMERGENCY AND I, the group’s most critically and commercially successful album. Despite tours with Pearl Jam and Death Cab for Cutie, and an expanding fan base, the band called it quits after 2001’s CHANGE.
